Aged nineteen, Giménez joined to Primera División side Nacional in 2005, for whom he made his professional debut the same season.

After of that, he returned to Concepción the next season, in where he won the 2008 Copa Chile title under the coach Jorge Pellicer and also recovered his good level.

In January 2010, he joined to Ecuadorian Serie A powerhouse club Emelec, because the coach Jorge Sampaoli specially requested him to the club's dirigence.[2] The guaraní arrived for a one-season loan with buy option.[2] He made his debut in the match in where Emelec present their players, event called Explosión Azul, he scored a peace of goal against Independiente José Terán in a 2–0 home win. Thanks to his performances at Guayaquil's team, Giménez made that the coach Fernando Arce call him to the Paraguayan national football team.
